DejaVu News III.

Almost cancelled

2.0 or 1.10? This question was answered with the release of
version
1.10. It
almost got cancelled because of lack of approved changes, but luckily two
new glyphs and a few bug fixes catched in (only one week late).

Road to Perdition, err, I mean 2.0

Next release will be called 1.11 and it will be released on June 19th 2005.
The priority is bug fixes (including better kerning and hinting) and merge
with SuSE standard fonts.

Or, if miracle happens and kerning will be fixed, all glyphs in Latin
Extended-A and B will be done and Arev fonts will be
merged, next release will be called 2.0. Guess what is more probable.

It does sound Familiar

As mentioned earlier DejaVu
fonts are
now part of Familiar and other
OpenEmbedded-based distribution.
After doing a
bit of hard thinking,
Vašek
Stodůlka
decided to discontinue our own QPF version. We'll miss you, pal...

The Catcher in the Mono

Valentin
Stoykov
recently spotted and immediately fixed a problem with some Cyrillic glyphs
in monospace faces. I hope he'll submit patches frequently in the future.
